Chapter 263: Stand firm in the face of sugar-coated shells
In the next inspection, the situation of the other five villages is about the same as that of Fujiazhai, and in general, this place was occupied by Zeng. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Lao Zeng is a great emperor of the earth.
These six Han villages, with a population of about 1,600, and about 5,000 acres of fertile land were destroyed. Young and middle-aged Han people were also recruited to serve, but on the whole, the people in these villages did not live too badly. You can basically eat rice. Just say there is no dignity.
From here, Gao Fangping's judgment is correct, Zeng Cheng is a profiteer rather than a mad murderer. I still understand some of the methods of employing people to win over people.
From the macro fate, in fact, the bitter people of these six villages, even if they are not robbed, may not live better, or they will be scattered, and they are often robbed by bandits after losing the prestige of joint defense, or the fields will be annexed and taken away by people like Wang Qinfei. Some things are so red, 1 fruit, 1 fruit, no surprises.
After Zeng Lang rose, of course, Wang Qinfei's group of gentry did not come to touch here, so this side became a country within a country. The bandits who are not angry will not come to harass, because ordinary bandits will really be taught to be human by the Jurchen cavalry. For example, after Duan Jinzhu, who watched the thief's head and brain, enter these villages, he was beaten and his horses and weapons confiscated.
Duan Jinzhu should know these rules of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so he came to the county government to find Gao Fangping, with the intention of lying and fooling Gao Fangping. But in terms of national law, Zeng Jinzhu's methods against Duan Jinzhu are really a crime, and they can be regarded as robbery.
Thinking about it, Gao Fangping said: "Duan Jinzhu, you first entered Zengtou City, did you come to observe the terrain and plan to steal things, and then after they cleaned it up, you said that you were robbed and used me to help you take revenge?" ”
Duan Jinzhu was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat, which was all seen.
Since Gao Fangping was more obscene, the Jurchens were killed by him without saying a word, so Duan Jinzhu got off his horse and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Back to the master, I heard that those who take the initiative to recruit will be treated leniently, please spare the small one, the small one does have such a mentality, and the horse was indeed stolen in the Northland, because I was curious, I have never seen that kind of horse, so I stole it and tested it." After thinking that it was good, the kid really wanted to come to Yuncheng and take refuge in Brother Song Jiang, if this point is nonsense, the sky thunders! ”
Gao Fangping said: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, crimes committed in Liao will not be investigated in the Song Dynasty, so you are the queen of Liao and Lao Tzu has nothing to do with it." I don't care if you're sneaky in Zengtou City and you're cleaned up, because you haven't put it into action yet. I only care about whether there is a flaw in the section where you were robbed of the horse, and if you tell me now, if you are slapped in the face when I negotiate with Zeng Rong, you will basically die. ”
Sweat.
Duan Jinzhu pondered, who is the tiger, your old man is strong and strong, in Yuncheng, where will he be slapped in the face, the most he can say is to do it directly.
wanted to think so, but Duan Jinzhu also knew that this adult had rules and bottom lines, so he patted his chest and said: "There is no lie about being robbed of a horse, and I guarantee it with my head!" ”
Looking, there were more than a dozen people in front, coming on foot, and carrying the flag of "Zeng".
Zeng Lang is really a smart man and a profiteer. Of course, he knew the rules, so he listened to the orders of the prime minister, and when he came, he did not ride a horse or bring a weapon.
"Being a grandson next to me, I don't tell you not to speak, and when I ask, I say it boldly." Gao Fangping Road.
Seeing that the other party is a wealthy local tyrant and a rich man, Duan Jinzhu is a little worried, not sure if he, an official master, will help others at that time. I don't know what this gentleman just said, the first-class Han and the fourth-class are barbaric, but as soon as other people's families give gifts, this prince will mess up?
Gao Fangping lifted the reins of the horse and walked up, thinking that he would make a fortune this time.
Earlier, he only brought more than 200 people, and it was Gao Fangping who planned to use hooligan means to "force the people to rebel" at the beginning, but once he fought against the Yongle army of the imperial court, it would of course be a rebellion, and Zengtou City could be exterminated. And in order to attract them to make a fuss move, the number of people must not be large, and they must not be too disadvantaged. So I brought the Tiger Head Battalion.
But now it seems that Zeng Tou City is really overestimated, if you want to provoke Zeng Rong, a profiteer, a smart person, unless you only bring a few guards in a low-key manner, then Zeng Rong is difficult to say before he dares to kill people and destroy corpses.
Gao Fangping killed people earlier and forbade them to ride horses, just to gain time to visit a few villages in order to assess the power of Zengtou City, but after visiting, there were almost no Jurchens, all of them were Han villages, so he knew that if he overestimated Zeng, he would not oppose it, but would only be a grandson.
Those Han people didn't dare to say that they would help Gao Fangping, but they would never help Zeng when there was something. Because they are Han people, at least they have been educated, and they know that the group that can't be educated is in Liangshan, and that group will never be exploited by the Jurchens, and that group will fight if they don't agree with each other.
When Liangshan came to attack Zengtou City, he encountered resistance from the joint defense of Qizhai, which was because they were anti-thieves and bandits, and they were nameless. The same is true for future generations, a group of robbers break into a house to rob, if they encounter a ruthless person, of course, they resist with a kitchen knife, and it is reasonable and legal to hack them all to death at home. However, if a group of police and armed police come to arrest people and investigate, they will generally not resist to the death, because it is useless and they will die, and they will be detained with the reputation and responsibility of a mob.
There are basically no people in the forbidden military department in the Tiger Head Battalion, they are all ruthless people who survived the bloody battle in the Mengzhou Prison City Camp in the past, and the group of people who will sleep with knives and scare away the obscene soldiers and ruffians who accidentally scare away their mother-in-law, and have been brainwashed by special training and political study. Therefore, just the Tiger Head Battalion, if necessary, is enough to exterminate Zengtou City.
In Zeng's house, there should be no more than a few dozen real Jurchen knights, and as for the young and middle-aged people who went to work in the Han family's village, if they were not sick in the brain, they would not help Zeng Lane when something happened.
"Hahaha, the adults have worked hard from afar, the grass people have seen the army and the princess, atoned for their sins, hurry up and follow the grass people into Zeng's village to drink tea, there will be filial piety."
Zeng Lang is already completely dressed as a Han person, with no braids left, and there are some Han profiteers who are accustomed to a kind demeanor.
Gao Fangping was a little disappointed, in fact, this kind of talent is relatively troublesome, if Zeng Lane is like the two barbarians just now, it would be too simple, Zengtou City can be surnamed Gao at dusk today, and the nearly thousands of war horses and wealth in Zengtou City are also surnamed Gao.
After YY, Gao Fangping also dismounted, walked over with a profiteer smile and said: "Zeng is polite, you don't blame the official for coming uninvited, it's already good." ”
"Misunderstanding, my lord is misunderstanding, this is your territory, I still understand this, how can it be considered uninvited." Zeng smiled and approached Gao Fangping, and with a shake of his head, his youngest son Zeng Kui walked up with a plate of gold ingots and handed it to Xianggong Xiaona.
The shot was two hundred taels of gold, worth two thousand taels.
When Zeng Kui came to give the gold, he was still quite proud and unconvinced, but he was pressed by his father, and he couldn't have a seizure.
The other entourage were Zeng Rong's sons and the Jurchen knights under his command. Of his five sons, two of them did not dress as Han Chinese, but as Jurchen customs. They all stared at Gao Fangping with strange eyes.
But whoever gives gifts, Gao Fangping does not refuse to come, and he can't accept it after snoring.
"Please save some face for the Zeng family, don't come to random inspections in the future, Zengtou City is stable and the people live in peace, it will not cause chaos to the adults, if you can reach an alliance, gold and silver will naturally not be a problem, and my father will definitely have a heavy gift at that time." The youngest son Zeng Kui who gave the gift said in a somewhat stiff tone.
Zeng frowned, secretly hating his son for not being able to speak, although this is the meaning, but it can't be said so directly, this thing is naturally tacit in the officialdom culture of the Han people.
But since the purpose is like this, and his son has already spoken, Zeng Lang squinted his eyes and paid attention to Gao Fangping's reaction.
Gao Fangping didn't look at Zeng Kui, he was wiping those gold ingots one by one with his sleeve, watching the color, and then said casually: "Oh...... Young Master Zeng, are you ordering this official or giving him advice? ”
Zeng Kui wanted to have a seizure, and the Jurchen knights also blushed.
But seeing the fierce tiger head battalion pressing the formation, Zeng Lang glared at them, and hurriedly said: "Naturally, it is a suggestion, children are young and ignorant, how can they order adults?" ”
"Suggestions can be made, however, the official does not accept your suggestions." Gao Fangping immediately turned his face after receiving the gold.
I'm #¥
All the Jurchen warriors felt that they had suffered a loss, and they were furious. It is said that this gentleman is greedy for money, but he has never seen this kind of money received but did not agree. Damn, if you want to be a tough guy, you have to show a bit of backbone, don't take money from the old people!
Zeng Lang didn't have a seizure, and arched his hand: "It's the right of adults to come and inspect it." However, it seems that ...... You're breaking the rules a bit, but you've already taken the honor of my Zeng family. ”
Gao Fangping touched his chin and said, "So what?" You are going to give it to me, why should I refuse if I am so greedy for money? Of course, I will talk about it after I take it. ”
"You ......" Zeng Rong's eldest son took a step forward, but unfortunately there was no knife in his hand, otherwise he should have held it tightly.
He glanced at Zeng Lang again, and the eldest son named Zeng Mi shouted: "Why are you Han people so scoundrels, you have violated your national law by accepting money, and you have lost your rights in front of the giver of gifts, because your rights come from national law, and you have violated national law." My Zeng family is not easy to bully, there are channels to speak to the court of the Song Dynasty, sir, think clearly. ”
"You seem to be smart, but you're actually a straw bale, half a bottle of vinegar." Gao Fangping waved his hand and played hooligan and said: "After accepting the money and agreeing to your unreasonable demands, then it is called bribery." However, Lao Tzu accepted the money but did not agree to you, this is called uprightness, righteousness and annihilation, and a firm stand in the face of the corrosion of sugar-coated shells. Damn, you just talked about the Yushitai and the Criminal Department, and I also said this, you look at Zhang Kegong's old mallet and think you are justified or I am justified. That's it, the money was given by you voluntarily, and I won't spit it out when I receive it. I don't agree to anything that violates the law and discipline, as the chief official of Yuncheng, of course I have to inspect and rule. (To be continued.) )
